I don’t normally sound the fanfare when Headscape launches a new site. In my experience it opens me up to more criticism than I enjoy! However I think for once I will make an exception.

Yesterday I posted my thoughts on each session as I went along. Although this might have been useful to some of you it was more of a personal reference than anything else. Today I have decided not to post on each individual session but rather sum up the overall lessons to be learnt from this year’s show.

It’s hard to keep up with everything that is going online. Even with RSS web feeds, it is still impossible to subscribe to every cool site about web design. Things will be missed. However, what about if you use the power of digg.com to find things for you?
